Topic 1: DepEd Guidelines for Work Immersion

In reference with DM-CI-2020-

Immersion Implementation during

Crisis Situation” from the Office of the

Curriculum and Instruction (CI)

reiterating the basis for the Work Immersion of all Senior High Schools for the School Year

2021-2022. As stipulated in DepEd Order No.39, Series 2018 entitled Clarification and

Additional Information to DepEd Order No.30, Series 2017 (Guidelines on Work Immersion),

Work Immersion is a requirement for TVL Track.

One of the goals of the K to 12 Education Program is to develop in learners the

competencies, work ethics, and values relevant to pursuing further education and/or joining the

world of work. To achieve greater congruence with the basic education and the nation’s

development targets, Work Immersion, a required subject, has been integrated in the curriculum.

This subject will provide learners with the following opportunities:

1. to become familiar with the work place

2. for employment simulation

3. to apply their competencies in areas of specialization/applied subject’s in

authentic work environments

Work Ethics is a group of moral

principles, standards of behavior, or set

of values regarding proper conduct in

the workplace. During this Work

Immersion, you will be deployed in a

certain institution or

company. It is necessary to know if your actions conform to the work ethics. You can ask

yourself: Do I show respect to everyone in the workplace? Am I becoming rude to others? or Did

I tell the truth about the problem?

There are many instances or stories you heard about employees being fired from a job or

work. What could be the reasons? These are some of them:

1. Noncompliance with the rules and regulations

2. Harassment to fellow employees

4. Utterance of offensive language

5. Negligence of the responsibility

6. Troublemakers or frequent cause of conflict

7. Grievous offenses

Topic 3: Memorandum of Agreement

In an effort to educate the Senior High

School students with the Work Immersion

Education, whereas students must develop the competencies, work ethics, and values relevant on

their respective field. Students were also reminded that the Work Immersion to be conducted is a

requirement for graduation from secondary education.

To further educate students with

regard to resumé and credentials and its

importance, Mr. Erwin Mendoza conducted

a short talk in line with the pre-immersion

seminar. Students showcased their resumé

as sir Mendoza

told them to do so. Sir Mendoza started his talk with a glimpse of his past where he was still in a

corporate world. He described how hard it is to apply for a job — from preparing the resumé to

filling up application form until the interview. He then proceeds to teaching the students about

the technicalities and preparation of application letter.

Followed by emphasizing to students how essential it is to critically transfer information from

resumé to the application form. Mr. Mendoza pinpointed the importance of the credentials in

applying for a job and how it is properly prepared. He ended his talk with applaud from the

participative Technical Vocational Livelihood Track students.
